These are some of the stunning postcards that have come to me from among the world's most remote places and islands, with a special focus on the scenery, wildlife and culture of Africa. If you live or travel in exotic places, send along a card to display on the site. See also "Africa Stamps" on Facebook or Contact: maravalman @ gmail.com

This multiview card shows scenery from the twin island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, a country close to my heart, as it was the very 1st foreign country I visited, when I was 16. I fondly remember the whitish-pinkish sand and the clear waters around the coast of the verdant islands.

This card was recently sent to me by Mohammed, and shows the map, flag and scenes from the Northern region of Cyprus, which is under Turkish administration since 1973. The lovely stamps show a dolphin and a vineyard, with a very clear town cancel from Lefkosa.

This lovely card was posted in 2016 and shows a procession of islanders in typical dress. The population of this French territory in the Indian Ocean is mainly Muslim, and broke away from the Republic of Comoros at independence.
